Do the Sandiles evolutions gain better defense? Mines is aroudn lv.28 and he gets killed in 2-3 hits. It was the same for my Bltizle but he evolved and is much tougher now.

Better, but not much. They're a glass cannon species, speed and power, though mine does well enough against physical attacks

Whos a good plant type, a real keeper for whole game?  Is the pansage good?

Leavanny is the best Grass and Bug Sweeper for the new games. It gets good speed, amazing Attack and access to some of the best Grass moves in the game (Leaf Blade, Leaf Storm). It's the final evolution of Sewaddle, which can only be achieved via hapiness after you have evolved Sewaddle to Swadloon.

Even when you reach Sandile's final evolution, Krookodile, you're looking at defense and Sp. defense stats that vary between 67 - 130, which isn't that good. 

Like Mr.Khan said, Sandile is made for speedy attacks and Krookodile gets a powerhouse of a moveset (he can learn Outrage) as well.

Should I get the Cover Fossil or the Plume Fossil.  Tirtouga or Archen?

Archen definitely. Archeops is one of the best pokemon in the game.

Right, but the ability is so bad. I wasn't sure, people seems kind of divided...

The ability is bad, but if you play Archeops right you'll almost never see it. Heck I went through the entire game, even with Archen, by only seeing it once, when I was fighting Ghetsis, because most of the times, the sheer speed and attack of Archen/Archeops is enough to do the job. 

Plus, he's one of the few pokemon that can learn Acrobatics and use it effectively. And an archeops using Acrobatics is a deadly foe.

Is it too early to ask you to give me his best possible moveset hahaha?

This is the moveset I used with him until the endgame:

Fly
Acrobatics
Rock Slide
Dragon Claw

It probably isn't the best, because I switched him when I finished the game and was fine tuning my final team. His best move set would probably look like:

Acrobatics
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Giga Impact (Personally, I would use Rock Slide as well given Stone Edge's low PP and meh accuracy)

Rainbow Yoshi on 27 March 2011

Well, I have trained one of my planned Steel Pokemon for the VGChartz Elite 4. Klinklang is one of the best Pokemon in Black/White.

Shiny drillbur, that's pretty amazing XD.

Heck, even I would go crazy for some shinies. If I ever saw anyone willing to trade a shiny dragon type, I would give almost anything for it

I care, but that's why I don't trade over the GTS no more, only with people which I have some degree of confidence. The risk that you're getting a Action Replay hacked pokemon in the GTS is great, no matter if it's shiny or not. 

I for one can't understand why people would do any hacking or cheating in pokemon games. Takes all the fun out of it.

I actually got a shiny Dratini...

Mind you I didn't capture these I got em through trades and I have no way of knowing if they're legit or not. I got a Zekrom for that drillbur btw
